| In the comments section here in the readers’ edition, there’s been interesting debate around the identity of the next-but-one Labour leader. | |
| Ok - so for fun - who do you think are the top three contenders to be Labour Leader at the next election and why? | |
| for mea) Dan Jarvis - mainly because he is new and has an impeachable back story and would find the stresses of Westminster fairly tolerable to being on active serviceb) Keir Starmer - ex DPP - and good record on human rights. Potentially issues about connection to previous Govts - but as a QC will be used to fielding questions and making a casec) Not sure - but I guess there is potential from a number of the Dept Leaders - but not sure who I would go for - slightly "left field" (sorry) Seema Malhotra - smart cookies with Big Firm work background - would understand how change works? | |
| Thoughts? | |
